Sourced quotes

"God forbid that the day should ever come when, in the American mind, the thought of man as a 'consumer' shall submerge the old American thought of man as a creature of God, endowed with 'unalienable rights.'"[1]

Simple: I pray the that there is never a day when, to Americans, being a "consumer" will take over the old American way of believing a person is created by God and has rights that cannot be taken away.
